Satisfied Mind

How man times have you heard someone say

If I had his money, I'd do things my way

But little they know that it's so hard to find

One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind

For money can't buy back your youth when you're old

Or a friend when you're lonely, or a heart that's grown cold

The wealthiest person is a pauper at times

Compared to the man with a satisfied mind

Once I was living in fortune and fame

Had all that I dreamed of to get a start in life's game

Then suddenly it happened and I lost every dime

But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind
